Patent CA-2428510-A1 (CA)
Title: Blood withdrawal system
Inventor: RUSCHKE PETER
IPC: A61B5/15
Filed: 2003-05-13
Abstract: The invention discloses a blood withdrawal system for withdrawing blood for diagnostic purposes. The lancing device comprises a drive mechanism which ensures a pain-reduced lancing process for the patient. The drive mechanism is characterized by a robust and simple construction. By means of a trigger mechanism, the lancet is driven by converting a linear movement of a trigger unit into a rotary movement which initiates the lancing process. This allows a simple handling for the patient.

Title: Method and apparatus for simultaneous quantification of different radionuclides on the surface of a biological microarray
Inventor: HOVIG EIVIND
IPC: C12Q1/6816
Filed: 2002-01-11
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for simultaneous quantification of the amounts of one or more radioactive nuclides within arbitrary regions on a surface where these nuclides have been deposited, adsorbed or fixed. These radioactive nuclides serve as markers on compounds that typically have been incorporated into tissue sections or into larger biological molecules that by various mechanisms have been bound to chemical substances on this surface. The method is especially well suited for DNA microarray deductions through the use of nucleotides labelled with different beta-emitting radionuclides.

Title: Device for the inductive heating of a toolholder
Inventor: HAIMER FRANZ
IPC: B23B1/00
Filed: 2002-01-21
Abstract: The induction coil of a device that inductively heats a toolholder (1) to facilitate a change of tools comprises a shielding collar (27) consisting of a magnetisable material. Said collar concentrates the magnetic flux of the induction coil (13) into a sleeve section (5) of the toolholder (1), which retains the shaft (11) of a rotational tool by a clamping force and shields the part of the tool shaft (11) that projects from the sleeve base (5), to facilitate the unclamping of the tool from the toolholder (1). The shielding collar (27) has, on the side that axially faces the winding (19) of the induction coil (13), an outer surface (31) that extends conically away from the sleeve base (5) and an axial height (h), which is at least 1.5 times greater than the diameter (d) of the tool shaft (11). All sides of the shielding collar (27) run at a distance from a magnet yoke (23) consisting o f magnetisable material, which surrounds the winding (19) of the induction coi l (13).

Title: Automatic banding packing machine
Inventor: SATO MITSURU
IPC: B65B13/22
Filed: 2003-09-02
Abstract: It is an object to provide an automatic banding packing machine capable of easily removing the ring of a band with a simple structure when idle banding is carried out. When the rear end side of a band is to be pulled back by band pull-back means (84), an amount of the pull-back is detected by detecting means. It is decided that idle banding of the band is carried out when a result of the detection is greater than a preset length and the band is wound around a slide table. Thereafter, the rotation of a cam shaft (41) is temporarily stopped based on a signal, whereby the timing of the pressing to be carried out by a middle presser member, which is operated after melting the superposing portion of the band by means of a heater (36), is delayed in a predetermined time.

Title: Sealing apparatus and manufacturing process of soft article having sealed portion
Inventor: YAMAMOTO HIROKI
IPC: B29C65/00
Filed: 2002-03-20
Abstract: Disclosed is a sealing apparatus wherein, as a drum (5) and a rotary base (6) are rotated together, a follower (10a) of a rocking support member (9) rockably provided on the outer periphery of the rotary base (6) is guided along a cam groove (15c) of a cam member (15) to drive the rocking support member (9) to rock. When the rotary drum (5) reaches a predetermined rotational position, an anvil (14) supported by the rocking support member (9) is urged onto a horn (8), and then, when it reaches another rotational position, the anvil (14) is moved away from the horn (8). Since the anvil (14) is driven by the rocking motion of the rocking support member (9), entire operation becomes quite simple, and a continuous soft work can be certainly clamped between the horn (8) and the anvil (14).

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing marketing campaigns. A communication module is capable of executing a first step of a marketing campaign, and is capable of handling customer responses to the marketing campaign received through a variety of communication channels, regardless of which channel was used for contacting the customers.  Customers may respond by email, telephone, fax, in person, through an internet site, by letter or by other modes of communication. An object generation module generates an object containing information from the response, uses the information to match the response with the marketing campaign, and links the object to the marketing campaign. A person may override the object generation module's matching by inputting the identity of another marketing campaign for matching. A campaign management module receives the object from the object generation module. A user may modify how the system matches responses with marketing campaigns.

Title: Method of repairing a slope-matched cable system and replacement cable portion for use therein
Inventor: LYNCH ROBERT L
IPC: G02B6/02
Filed: 2004-01-16
Abstract: A method of repairing a slope-matched cable system that leaves the net chromatic dispersion of the system nominally unchanged comprises removing a portion of the slope-matched cable system that is faulted, either the cable or a repeater, and constructing a replacement cable portion from two N-P cable lengths having negative dispersion fibers and positive dispersion fibers and a P cable length having positive dispersion fibers. The N-P cable lengths are coupled on each side of the P cable length and the replacement cable portion is connected to the slope-matched cable where the faulted cable was removed. The method also accounts for the extra cable that necessarily has to be added during the repair and for the replacement of a faulted repeater. A cable repair can be made in a regular cable section or in a compensation cable section, in which case the replacement cable portion can also include a repair repeater with LBOs to leave the gain shape of the transmission spectrum nominally unchanged and allows for replacement of a gain equalizer if one was removed during the repair. Similarly, when a faulted repeater is removed the replacement portion can include a replacement repeater, as well as a repair repeater, to leave the gain shape of the transmission spectrum nominally unchanged.

Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: An electromagnetic borehole telemetry system providing improved signal to noise ratio. Adaptive filters (74) use noise channels (68) as references to remove noise from the signal channel (66). Directional detectors provide a signal channel (66) with reduced noise content and improved noise channels with reduced signal content. Directional detectors may be magnetometers (70) aligned with magnetic field, or antennas aligned with the electric field, of signal or noise sources. Alignment may be performed by beam steering of the outputs of a three-channel detector, which may detect both signal and noise.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé déterminant des erreurs de décalage temporel dans un système satellite sur la base de l'effet Doppler et du taux de changement Doppler. Un terminal utilisateur (110, 113) détermine les premiers et seconds décalages temporels (902, 906) associés respectivement à un premier et à un second faisceau satellite (1142, 120¿4?) provenant respectivement du premier et second satellite (102, 104). Puis, le terminal utilisateur (110, 113) détermine l'effet Doppler et le taux de changement Doppler associé au premier et second faisceau satellite (1100, 1102). Un décalage temporel est estimé à partir des effets Doppler et taux de changement Doppler mesurés puis il est comparé au propre décalage temporel (906) du terminal utilisateur. Si la comparaison ne produit pas une valeur comprise à l'intérieur d'un seuil prédéterminé, une erreur d'identification de faisceau est alors déclarée.
